Help.. compile problem

<|FeaR|>Storm · 08-19-2003, 10:05 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm making my final and last map for jk2 but I lost all my notes and docs I wrote about fixing problems etc..
I just can't seem to find them back.. I get the following line in my compiling.. how do i fix it?

line :

NumPoints (66) exceed MAX_POINTS_ON_WINDING (64). Sample points: (1536.00 3784.00 576.00) (2016.00 3784.00 576.00) (2496.00 3784.00 576.00)

thanks.

Storm

You could try a forum search, too, if you lost your notes. The forums serve as great notes themselves.

MAX_POINTS_ON_WINDING occurs when you have a brush that touches too many other brushes. In Radiant, go to the coords in the error. You should find a brush (usually big) that touches load of other brushes. Cut it in half.

You have three sets of coordinates in that error message:
(1536.00, 3784.00, 576.00)
(2016.00, 3784.00, 576.00)
(2496.00, 3784.00, 576.00)

What you want to do is load up Radiant and go to those x, y, and z coordinates. There should be one large brush near (or touching? someone correct me) all 3 that qualifies. Usually a floor or cieling or something like that. Just cut it into two brushes and the error will go away.
